Cover Reveal and Pre-Order for An End of Troubles Anthology

Jan 8

We are thrilled to unveil the cover of our forthcoming paperback anthology, An End of Troubles, beautifully designed by the talented Mel Nigro. The cover is inspired by the winning story "An End of Troubles" by Hilary Coyne. This story follows servant woman Agnes as she recalls her encounter with Mary Queen of Scots at Castle Gloume. Agnes introduces the young Queen to the landscape and legends of the castle, where Mary foresees the challenges of her reign. As Mary anticipates the forces leading to her demise, Agnes suggests she may have more power than she realizes. Years later, Agnes envisions Mary's execution, marking the end of the Queen's troubles and a pivotal chapter in Scotland’s history.

This collection of ten award-winning stories brings pivotal moments in history to life, exploring themes of empowerment, resilience, and the enduring human spirit.
